THEY say Hollywood is a boys’ club, but these days it’s looking more like a club for Aussie brothers.

All three Hemsworth boys — Luke, Chris and Liam — are living and working in LA. Top-line directors can’t get enough of Joel Edgerton, while his brother, Nash, is moving up in the directing ranks with Charlize Theron circling his next project.

Now we can add the Samuel boys to that list, with Benedict Samuel joining his big brother Xavier on Hollywood’s radar.

Benedict makes his studio movie debut in The Walk, directed by the legendary Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future) and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as real-life high rope walker Philippe Petit.

The first image to be released from the film shows Benedict as part of Frenchman Petit’s crew as he attempts to pull off an illegal wire walk between New York’s World Trade Center towers.

Said to be a love letter to Paris and New York in the 1970s, the film co-stars Sir Ben Kingsley and Charlotte Le Bon. It will be released in Australia on October 8, 2015.

NIDA-trained Benedict’s most high profile role at home came via an eight-episode stint on Home and Away in 2011. Since trying his luck in the US, his rock ‘n’ roll looks scored him the lead as the “filthy hero” in indie film Asthma, co-starring Krysten Ritter, Rosanna Arquette, Nick Nolte and punk rocker Iggy Pop. The indie was directed by Jake Hoffman, son of Dustin.

Xavier, 30, has starred in the Twilight franchise, Roland Emmerich’s Anonymous, with Naomi Watts in Adore and will next be seen giving orders to Brad Pitt in Fury.

Xavier says he took inspiration from his brother for his role in surfing flick Drift.

“(My character) is so off the rails, a bit of a hooligan, reckless,’’ Xavier said when Drift was released last year. “In some ways I feel a bit more pragmatic (than the character) ... so I drew a lot of inspiration from my younger brother.’’

The pair, originally from Adelaide, shared a house in Sydney where they dreamt of following in the Edgertons’ writing-directing-acting footsteps.

“We sit in the kitchen and talk about what kind of stories we’d like to tell and maybe we’ll get to do that, who knows?’’ said Xavier.
